THE BREWERS CALLED OUT.
The Big Strike at New York Assumes
a New phase.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-District Assembly
49 put on an additional coat of war paint
at its conference early this morning, and
ordered out everybody in the beer, ale and
porter breweries in this city. Jersey City,
Brooklyn. Staten Island, Newark and Pat
terson, as we'll as the members of the Ec-
centric association of stationary engineers
employed in the different factories within
its Jurisdiction. The order is to go into
effect tomorrow, and it is estimated
that the number of men who will
stop work in the breweries is
about IL, 900. The number of these who
will be thrown ont by the strike of the en-
gineers will run far into the thousands. No
general estimate can be formed at present,
but it is certain that if they do quit ma
jority of the big factories will have to close
down. Assembly No. 40 claims that on
the strength OF assurances that arrange
ments were being made for arbitrating the
coal troubles it
RESTED ON IT'S OARS
and lost some ground. Now it intends to
regain that ground and get some more. The
members of 49's executive board say that
they have positive information that some oe
the coal companies are pressed for loans on
the national banks. and they believe that
with the arrangements they are making in
connection with the stopping of work by
the employees of breweries and the en-
gineers. the demand for coal Will grow so
limited that the coal companies will be glad
to come to terms. The oStensible reason
for these strikes is that the breweries and
other manufactures are using ''Scab'' coal.
To the reporter high official of District 40
said this afternoOn:
You can say that all the stories that the
strike was on the point of disrupting and COM
ing TO an end have been made through misun-
derStanding or are manufactured out of
whole cloth. District 40 has simply ceased
from pushing matters further in the idea
that the coal companies were about to have
all differences settled by arbitration. We
have been
UNDECEIvED ON THAT POINT,
and now we intend to renew the battle with q
vengeance, nor will the extension of the
strike stop with the measures to be carried
out Tomorrow. 1t necessary we shall call
out men in other lines. District 49 is now de-
termined to fight the battle to the bitter end,
and, instead of meeting with defeat, is more
than ever confident of achieving success
He added that the settlement with the
Reading road had not yet been sane
toned by 40; that it was doubtless made
with the understanding that Mr.. Corbn
was to get the other companies to come to
the same terms He said it yet remained
to be seen whether MI. Corbin was acting
in good faith and added that it he were not
the Reading men will stop work when
called on. The news blew along the piers
and wharves. and the strikers visible were
unusually numerous and much more cheer
full than they have been for some days.
James E. Quinn, master workman of Dis
trict Assembly 40, and Victor Drury. went
to Boston last night. They are to confer
with District Assembly 80, of Massachu-
setts, in relation to the strikes. The
Knights in Massachusetts may be called out
wherever scab coal is used.
